Downloading my previously purchased songs & Videos

Hello,
I am trying to download my previously purchased songs and videos from my itunes account onto my ipad2 however i am only able to acess the most recent 250 songs and no videos. I have over 1500 songs that i have purchased through itunes and quite a few videos and TV shows, how can i get these on my ipad.

Open the iTunes Store on your device.
Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
On iPad, tap the media button in the upper-left corner.
Tap Music.
Once you've located the music you are looking for, tap the download button.
Note: To download all songs from a purchased album, tap on the Album's toggle button to switch to Album view. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.

  • I just purchased a new Mac and I am trying to download my previously purchased songs.   I am only getting a portion of each song though.  What is happening and how do I fix it?

    I just purchased a Mac and downloaded my previously purchased songs from iTunes, however it only downloaded a portion of the song (about 1:15) and this appears to be the same on all of the songs.   What is happening and how can I fix it?

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.

  • HT201272 I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I'm having trouble downloading a previously purchase song to my iCloud so I can access it from another device.  The iCloud download button is not there.  Help?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

  • Re-downloading all previously purchased songs

    Hiya,
    Just wondering if there is a quick and easy way of re-downloading all previously purchased songs onto my iTunes (I have purchased a new computer and the old one is dead). I have already authorised this computer, but short of going and finding all the purchases I have made in the past, can I just re-download them to here?
    Cheers.

    As Apple clearly point out in the Terms of Use / Purchase, downloads are allowed to be made once only.
    You cannot download your music again, it is your responsibility to have made backups of your music files in case of loss.
    Just as a record store won't replace a lost CD, Apple will not replace lost downloads.
    I suggest you either transfer the music you purchased from the old computer to the new computer, or you get a copy of the music out of your last backup.
    If you cannot access the old computer and you do not have a backup then do you have the purchases on an iPod / iPhone? If you do then you can connect the device to iTunes (DO NOT SYNC THE DEVICE WITH ITUNES as that would erase the content from the device). Once connected use the 'Transfer Purchases' option you will find in the file menu in iTunes.
    If you have not got the music on an iPod, etc then all you can do is send a very polite and humble email to Apple using the 'Report a problem' feature in the Account area of iTunes and ask them to allow you to download all your music again. It has been known for Apple to allow this to be done, but they don't need to do so and may refuse.
    If they do then you will have lost all your purchased music, your fault not theirs.

  • On I-tunes, I am unable to re-download a previously purchased song. There is no Cloud icon... only the word "downloaded" ... help?

    I am unable to re-download a previously purchased song on I-tunes.  The song was corrupted. There is no "cloud" icon on Itunes... only the word "downloaded".
    Help please.

    Have you tried signing out of iTunes Store and back in.
    If this strange, you should be able to redownload from purchased section in iTunes Store.

  • HT201272 When I download a previously purchased song to my iMac only half of the song plays

    Any idea why only half of every song plays when I download a previously purchased album or song to my iMac?

    Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player?  If it does then it is an iTunes issue.  If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

  • How do I download my previously purchased songs (on a different computer) on a PC running XP? I have followed the instructions but none of it allows me to download my songs. I deauthorized all computers and authorized this one only but it didn't help.

    I had to change computers and cannot access my old drive. iTunes shows me the list of songs but I cannot get most to play. Instead I get a message saying "cannot locate"
    I have tried following the support tutorials but it still does not allow me to download my previous purchases.
    I tried de-authorizing all computers and then re-authorizing this on but it still doesn't allow me to access most of my songs.

    It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
    If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • When I add a new computer, how do I download all previously purchased songs to it?

    I have added a new computer to my system and I can't seem to access previously purchased songs.  Help, please!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • Why won't iTunes let me re-download a previously purchased song?

    I am trying to re-download a song that i purchased that did not fully download, but when I go to my previous purchases the "Download" button next to the songs are inactive and do nothing when I try clicking them.

    You cannot redownload if it is still on your computer.
    Delete, then redownload.

  • HT201272 I cannot re-download my previously purchased songs...help!

    I am on a different computer, but it is authorized.
    When I click on "previous purchases", nothing pops up!
    But when I try to add a previously downloaded album to my "wish list" it says I can't because I have already boughten it before.
    Please help, I cannot find anything about this online.
    When i check my account history, it shows my purchases, but won't let me re-download them.
    Very confused.

    Are you logging with the same google account?  Are any apps listed when you go to the playstore on your computer for that google account?  You can try sending them to the phone from the computer,
    What error message do you get when you try to install the apps?

  • TS1702 I am trying to download my previously purchased songs to. new computer. No download option appears tho songs there. Says original password needed but I've changed Is this the prob?

    Trying to download previously purchased items to new computer. Found them but there is no download option. Instr say must be password used when originally purchased. Could that be problem? I've changed mine. I did not back up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello, johnandsteph. 
    You are allowed a total of 5 computers at a time to be authorized to play content.  It is not necessary to deauthorize an old computer if you are attempting to add a new one unless you have reached your five total allotment.  From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer and enter your Apple ID and password.  At that point you should be able to access your previous purchases.  I have included two links listed below.  The first one goes over authorization and deauthorization.  The second article covers how to download past purchases.

  • HT203167 I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/

    I recently downloaded my previous purchased items from iTunes but I have found that some songs dont play or have only downloaded half of the actual song :/ when i go to iTunes>Purchased it says that the songs have already been downloaded, which means i cant re-download them. is there a way I can re-download my previous purchased songs?

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.
